I see your point. I've had three speeding tickets in the last 45 years, and two of them were within the last year in rural situations where the obvious motive is revenue enhancement rather than public safety. I'm a very conservative driver, so conservative that my family jokes I can't even catch the icecream truck (true), but I took my medicine and now I am very careful about observing the speed limit. I just laugh when people pass me acting very annoyed that I'm driving the speed limit. OK jail time costs the county money, buts that's where slime balls belong. My Brother In Law started a job as security in a county jail earlier this year and after a week he quit because although the inmates were skilled at provoking the guards, they were unable to take any measures that would prevent it. They spit, urinated, hacked phlegm, smeared excrement, spilled drinks, and waited for a chance to drive a shank into one of the guards. He said the proper response was to deck slime balls immediately, but that was "unprofessional" and they weren't to do it. Basically, they were defenseless against this scum of the earth. The women inmates were atrocious in a different way. Anyway, he quit. Too bad you are not a better shot, no offense. Sorry, but although I'm not close to slimeball situations, I have no tolerance for them. I would like to see them all disappear. I think plea bargains should be an avenue of last resort, and those who engage in them should be held accountable. That includes the attorneys and judges.
